5 Benefits of Industrial Painting Robots

Robotic automation has long been used to replace human workers for tasks that carry a high degree of risk, such as those that use industrial paint.

Not only do industrial robots protect human health, but they also improve productivity. Continue reading to learn the 5 benefits of industrial painting robots.

1.) Apply Paint Evenly

We program robots to apply industrial paint evenly to parts and equipment. Since robots are precise, they don't leave behind drips or other imperfections. Instead, each piece of equipment is sprayed evenly with just the right amount of paint for a flawless finish.

Industrial robots are able to recognize what areas to paint by using software, algorithms, sensors, and cameras. By recognizing patterns, your robotic painting systems are able to paint with high accuracy and comply with your specifications. Best of all, you'll be able to reduce waste by making sure each product coming out of the painting assembly line is ready for the next step.

2.) Save Floor Space

A slim robotic arm can be installed on a wall, shelf, or rail. Our industrial painting robots can reach farther than their predecessors, giving you more floor space in your factory. We understand that you have a limited amount of space to put robots and industrial machinery. Fortunately, our industrial painting robots are able to fit in tighter spaces because of their slim design.

3.) Access and Paint More Parts

A robotic arm is slim enough to reach more nooks and crannies. In the past, it would take time for a human worker to cover every surface with paint. Today, industrial robots are programmed to recognize the edges of equipment so they can apply an even spray without wasting paint.

4.) Protect Human Workers

Many of the companies we work with say their employees are their best assets. Before implementing automation technology, make sure your employees understand their new roles working alongside industrial robots. While robots still require human supervision, they significantly reduce your team's risk of injury or illness.

In the past, industrial paint exposed workers to carcinogens, iso-cyanides, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Fortunately, our automated paint systems are specifically designed for painting. Even if the worse happens, robotic arms are built to survive explosions. The same can't be said of human arms, which is why we highly recommend industrial painting robots. Robotic automation systems are also more precise while painting, which means you'll end up needing to dispose of less hazardous waste.

5.) Customize Automation

Factory floors are busy with limited floor space, which is why we highly recommend industrial painting robots. By using anti collision software, we can create a team of industrial robots that work in close proximity. This means that you don't have to worry about painting robots crashing into each other and needing repair. When you add more than one industrial painting robot, you'll notice your productivity drastically improve.
